Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic, progressive, chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease that affects tissues, organs, and damages synovial joints. The RA can be treated with DMARD (disease modifying anti rheumatic drugs), such as methotrexate. However, the use of this drug long-term can cause side effects. Soft coral Lobophytum sp. has secondary metabolite compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids which has an anti-inflammatory activity, which beneficial for anti-rheumatoid arthritis agent. This study aims to determine the potential of anti RA in Lobophytum sp. using in vitro and in vivo. The anti-inflammatory assay for anti RA in vitro was performed by stabilization of human red blood cell (HRBC) membrane. In addition, anti RA was performed in arthritis model mice by induction of complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) by administering LEA once daily orally for 15 days. It was found that the ethyl acetate of Lobophytum sp. (LEA) reduced the haemolysis and increased the stability of HRBC membrane. Furthermore, LEA also showed anti RA by decreasing the edema in mouse paw at dose of 50 mg.kg-1 BW (LEA50), 100 mg.kg-1 BW (LEA100), and 200 mg.kg-1 BW (LEA200), respectively with 2.5 mg.kg-1 BW of methotrexate as positive control (C+) with P<0.05. Moreover, LEA200 demonstrated highest efficacy and showed no significant different with C+ (P>0.05). In conclusion, our research has shown that LEA has anti-inflammatory for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis from in vitro and in vivo studies.

Abstract

Forest honey is a natural product rich in bioactive compounds, particularly phenolics and flavonoids, which contribute to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. East Kolaka, Southeast Sulawesi, is recognized as a potential source of forest honey; however, scientific data regarding its biological activity remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of forest honey from East Kolaka using in vitro and in vivo approaches. Antioxidant activity was assessed using DPPH, ABTS, and β-carotene bleaching assays, while anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated through inhibition of nitric oxide production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophage cells and a xylene-induced mouse ear edema model. The results demonstrated notable antioxidant activity, with IC₅₀ values of 68.16 ± 1.18 mg/L (DPPH), 56.36 ± 3.72 mg/L (ABTS), and 4.11 ± 0.66 mg/L (BCB). Additionally, the honey significantly suppressed nitric oxide production in vitro and reduced ear edema in vivo, with the highest dose showing comparable effectiveness to sodium diclofenac. These findings indicate that East Kolaka forest honey has promising potential for development as a functional food or nutraceutical derived from local natural resources.
